Lil Xan

trying to think

around the time like Lil Pump and Lil Xan and all the Lils were popping off.

The whole look was face tats.

Yeah.

You say I was a failed manager.

Now, Lil Xan, I was never his manager.

He was signed to my label.

DJ was actually his manager.

And I'm telling you as a fan, and I'm sure other people probably appreciate this too.

We do look to you and respect you as a really authentic voice in this space.

And so for that, and I want to be totally honest, for that, it really did feel like, I appreciate you being a lot more open and honest and very personable this week, because I think we want more of that, because we need those kind of stories, like when you open up about Lil Xan.

Because we don't really hear a lot from you about that, but in all honesty, there is a lot of anxiety in hip hop and the ways that people kind of feed their anxiety and their pain and their will to go on because there's a lot of missed opportunities that we could just kind of open up about the behind the scenes music industry that could be probably a lot better appreciated coming from you because you are the person that's been on both sides.

was on tour yeah go ahead

I can't even not laugh Stat was on tour with Lil Xan and it just so happened that he was he happened to be in Des Moines Iowa on Valentine's Day So we made an app.

We made a Tinder.

I don't know.

Yo, that shit, I was able to be a part of that.

So like, man, I've had a phenomenal, I've had, this has been phenomenal for me.

So that Lil Xan shit, I don't know if people, like they think they trolling.

Man, I love to talk about Xan.

Now if you hear that, motherfuckers applauding.

Lil Xan did 28K first week, and people were laughing at him.

That's a fact.

Like, it was like a, the worst thing ever.

He was part of the SoundCloud era of trap music with hits like Pick It Up and Japan.

Lil Xan was born in 1996, gained notoriety back in the late 2010 SoundCloud rap wave with the breakout single Betrayed.

Fat Nick was born in 1994.

If you compare it to my style, it shows up.
